The Art Room Mural...a work in progres...

The Art Room Mural...a work in progress...
I cannot begin to tell you how exciting it is to finally have begun painting the art room mural.  I've always wanted to fill that giant empty white space as you enter my room with something...and well...it's finally happening.  I spent some time in the fall organizing what art elements I wanted to include in the mural, and then created a collage of those elements in Photoshop as a 'guide'.  I've gone back to that Photoshop collage a few times and changed and rearranged things to make sure that it looks as good as it can.  Anyway...it's a work in progress and I don't see it being complete until spring break...but I wanted to share it with you in the early stages of its completion.
